General Comments:

This vehicle is very underpowered when the electric fan turns on, which is accompanied by a noticeable roaring noise. The ride was acceptable for a 4x4 of this type. Interior held up well and layout was fine. I had received a lot of complements regarding the look and stance of it. I really liked the look and fell of this truck, but I would be concerned once they started getting some miles on them. I leased this vehicle and overall I thought the value was slightly overpriced, but acceptable if your willing to pay for the looks.

1998 Chevrolet Blazer LT 4.3 from North America

Summary:

A low performance, but high maintenance vehicle

Faults:

The brakes constantly produce a high pitch, metal to metal noise every time I apply pressure to the brake pedal. I have had the pads replaced prematurely a couple of times and I have had the rotors replaced as well with no satisfaction.

I had the transmission rebuilt at approximately 80,000 miles in 8/01 when the reverse went out on it. Again, I had it rebuilt in 3/04 with approximately 130,000 miles when it began slipping with erratic shift patterns. And then again in 7/04 when it did not want to shift from first to second. Now, it is 8/11 and I am being told once again, it needs to be rebuilt again due to the transmission not shifting up into overdrive. In each occurrence I used reputable companies to do the work. I am being told it could be a problem in the casing or with pressure. There is only one thing I do know for sure, I am getting rid of this vehicle asap and I will not buy another Chevrolet again.

1998 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 V6 from North America

Summary:

This blazer is neat to look at, but a money pit!

Faults:

A year after I got this Blazer my water pump went out. A couple months later my transmission went out. About a year later my 4X4 wasn't working correctly. The blazer would shift into 4X4 LO by itself. After this happened a few times, I took it in and had to have the 4 wheel drive cable replaced. I recently put a new alternator in it. The windshield wipers have now quit working... they work randomly (usually don't work when it's raining). This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Now I am leaking anti-freeze again.

General Comments:

Almost every week something small goes wrong with it. I have it serviced regularly, so it has been taken care of. I will never buy another Chevrolet again! I keep thinking that I will keep it and drive it because I have replaced most things in it, but things still keep going wrong!!
